Context of Psalms 110:3

1The Lord said to my Lord, “Take the honored position—the one next to me [God the Father] on the heavenly throne until I put your enemies under your control.” 2The Lord will extend your powerful scepter from Zion. Rule your enemies who surround you. Your people will volunteer when you call up your army. Your young people will come to you in holy splendor like dew in the early morning. 4The Lord has taken an oath and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the way Melchizedek was a priest.” 5The Lord is at your right side. He will crush kings on the day of his anger.

Commentaries on Psalms 110:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power - This verse has been wofully perverted.
